Excerpt from The Evidences Against Christianity II. It is probable that every one, into whose hands this book will fall, knows and will recall to mind the denunciations pronounced hyzthe Christian Church against all persons who doubt the truth of the Bible, against all who express such doubts, and against all who read books intended to question or overthrow the Christian faith. The reader may say, I have been taught to believe that all persons who do not accept the Bible will be punished with infinite pains in everlasting Hell this book is written to lead me to reject the Bible: is it right for me to read such a work? And if I do read it, shall I give a fair hearing to what the author has to say - shall I begin by considering the question at issue (the truth and immediate divine origin of the Bible, ) to be Open and undecided shall I doubt, and question, and investigate both sides and every unclear point, and demand conclusive evidence previous to settling into firm belief, as I would in questions of science or of political philosophy The Church replies, Do not read the book; listen to nothing that may imperil your eternal salvation; and if you do read, keep before your mind the fact that the Bible is the word of God, and is necessarily of higher authority than your reason; remember that the Bible contains the teachings of divine and infinite wisdom; remember that your mind is finite and fallible, and cannot comprehend the infinite; and remember that the truths beyond reason appear contrary to it. Let these facts be fully impressed upon your mind, and listen to the words of the Holy Scripture as a little child would listen - with implicit faith and obedience - to the words of a wise and good parent. The reader asks, How do you know that the Bible is the word of God? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
